After years of romantic turmoil, it looks like Sami finally found the perfect man, or has she…

This week, the secrets from Rafe’s past return to cast a dark shadow over what’s already a pretty dark period in both of their lives. Is he protecting her, or protecting himself by keeping certain details, and people, from his past a secret?

The ambush Claudia had planned went awry when Johnny pushed Jason out of the line of fire. They took out a few Zacchara shooters but one got away. They ran back to the mansion and walked in on the aftermath of Claudia and Sonny’s latest sex romp. She flitted off and so did her brother. They met up in his garage to argue about what went wrong until Olivia interrupted. He sent his sister away. Meanwhile, Michael, following a battle with Jax after freaking out at Carly, packed up and went to his father’s. Sonny was proud that he took control of his life like this. Unfortunately, Morgan decided to follow his brother’s footsteps but, while he traveled through the woods, was captured by a rogue Zacchara lieutenant, Dominic, who was left limping from the ambush. They bantered and soon Carly showed up looking for her son. Michael wasn’t far behind and they took turns trying to take Dominic out. He didn’t bother shooting any of them, and made sure they knew it, then ran off to the mansion, bumping into Claudia on the terrace. Thinking fast but not wisely, she hid him in her room.

No one in Salem seems to have a problem doling out advice, whether they’re asked for it or not.

It’s not as though any of the town’s inhabitants couldn’t use a hefty dose of therapy, or something a little stronger. When Marlena was around, she had the excuse of being a therapist, but everyone else’s sage wisdom seems to come free of charge. Read the rest of this entry »

Taylor realized Ridge took more pills and was mortified that her night of love wasn’t quite what she thought it was. Ridge, however, told her he had genuine feelings for her that night. He wanted to tell Brooke, but Taylor thought that was a bad idea.

Stephanie questioned both Ridge and Taylor about their night together, but neither one gave her the dish she was looking for.Read the rest of this entry »

Noah received legal guidance, news of Phillip’s empty casket spread, Adam became more desperate, and Mary Jane did the unthinkable!

Noah went to Rafe for information on how to become emancipated. When Nick and Sharon gave Noah news about their new house, he announced his plans! Later, the paternity results came in – the baby was Nick’s!

After Jill and Kay learned that Phillip’s casket was empty, everyone was shocked when no DNA was found in the casket! Cane agreed to a DNA test, retrieved a frozen vial of blood then left Phillip a message saying he did what he had to do!

Victor called a detective, in regards to the delivered doll head, and after a fingerprint of Estella’s was pulled from the package, Victor pressed charges against her! Later, Victor asked Vikki to restart the art foundation in Sabrina’s honor. Adam spilled the Botox he’d used to fake his blindness then Victor’s doctor examined him, said Adam had injection holes in his corneas and it was now too late to correct his blindness! Though Victor blamed Adam for gaslighting Ashley, Adam convinced Victor he was attacked in prison, leaving Victor sympathetic – and Ashley vowing to be there for Adam, as he had been for her and her baby! When JT suggested to Victor that Mary Jane Benson could be behind the troubles surrounding Ashley, since she’d been on the property repeated times, Victor rushed off to confront her!

In a town full of mobsters, it’s amazing that they don’t get more fresh blood more often.

This week, Port Charles added another young mobster to its cast and, if the rumors are true, he promises to shake things up a lot. Dominic already nearly killed Jason, nearly abducted half of the Corinthos children, and wound up wounded in Claudia’s bed. Although we don’t know much about him, or what he’s after, we can see that he isn’t that bright (or pretends not to be), is sarcastic and he seems to take his shirt off a lot.
